lyrics

Yeah... Uh-huh, uh-huh uh huh....

(1st Verse)
As the roots of this rap shit blossom in my seed
the Renaissance, to the city of Gotham
as you compliment my steeze
Please, no drama to my scene
Fuck it, I'm giving it raw, it ain't no condom in my beats
Monogamous, I mean
True to the game
Moving with the same pursuit of a Jew in Jerusalem's name
This world of evil do'ers, lucifers, saints,
chasing a lucrative wage
I'm all three-into-one, it's RAP: a revolutionist's rage
Fuck a dummy-down
nigga smarten up, we sparking up some shit
Pump your fist, love or dump it or bump it and fuck with it
like or leave it, customer's pick
the style switches like voluptuous chicks...

(Bridge)
It take something to break something (4x)

(Hook)
Takes one to know one
said I'm second to no one
Said I'm second to no one!
(King David must be in my bones)

(2nd Verse)
This is Hip-hop:
I spit proper proverbs to prosper
the Witch Doctor to the Chakras give props to shit poppers
Man, this shit is clockwork
and chick's rock to mixed vodka
Niggas spit scripted shit, Pac or Big Poppa
Bitch stop it! Opposite of logic, STOP, the shit's pop
to rimshots, my shit is Opera
Risk oxygen to lock you in
But Hip-hop has flip-flopped and slick, conscious wit
blocked to get profit, with lots of imposters
mixed into it, though no vision,
I'm driven to blow
I Go for broke in this road eroding the engine and spokes
To recap it: Priest at it, reeks havoc to recapture it
and freelancing it afterwards, acting as freak accidents
Priest and it's Jaze Baqti
is two Jazz Kings
This the new last breed, check my New Jack Swing
Seen a legacy to replicate with the pen
and my project in your home, like Section 8 in the crib...

(Bridge)
It take something to break something (4x)

(Hook)
Takes one to know one
said I'm second to no one
Said I'm second to no one!
(King David must be in my bones)

(Bridge)
It take something to break something (4x)
